Hi everyone! Before I get started I just wanted to let you all know that I'm new to the website and this is actually my first grow.. Kinda nervous about it to be honest.. But hey! It's going good so far i think..
Here's an update on everything that I have setup for my mystery plant! (More on that later).
My current setup:
Current strain remains a mystery..
I have just one plant right now but she is in Veg and has been for about 3-4 weeks.
I am growing indoors in my closet. I have a HydroCrush mylar lined tent that is 4x4x6.5ft tall. Should be enough?
I am currently growing in a coco coir/perlite mix about 60/40 in a 7 gal. Smart pot, using general hydroponics nutrients grow/flora/micro trio with floralicious plus as an additive.
The light I am currently using is a 400w mh/hps light, but I am using the mh light right now for Veg. On a dimmable ballast, I have a 4"exhaust vent coming from my light outside my tent to a 354cfm 3 speed inline fan blowing out of a 12" carbon filter. Do I need that yet??
Current temp/humidity: 75 degrees and about 55% RH. I have been striving to keep the ph of my water between 5.5-6.5 but am having troubles with runoff ph.
OKAYY! now that you are up to date I will give a little background as to how this all came about, and as to why my current plant is a mystery plant!! I got this plant about 3 weeks ago from a buddy of mine who is a fellow connesuier. I'm guessing it was some bagseed that made it's way to the front of his garage and started growing!! I was planning on taking this adventure at some point and when we found the plant it just kind of kicked everythig into gear! I dug the plant up and took it home and started caring for it! I am so excited to see what this little guy is gonna grow up to be!! I hope you all will enjoy this as much as I do
Here are some current pictures. I don't have very many at this point but I promise to take LOADS more throughout this whole process.
This is about a week after I got the plant. I transplanted it the day after recieving it which I believe was June 14th. It wasn't in very good shape when I got it.. it had a horrible case of gnats and all the fan leaves were yellow and dying. I defoliated the plant alot, probably almost too much, to get rid of gnats. Little pinheaded bastards.. I had previously topped the plant before I had decided to take it home. I knew height was going to be a restricting factor so best take action while i could is what I thought. But I ended up super cropping also to make a more even canopy for my light to penetrate.
This is the same plant, as of yesterday evening. You can see in the picture where I supercropped and it's a huge ball! Is that normal?? The plant doesn't seem bothered by it, but I have never seen a plant swell up like that after bending it.. it's been about 3 weeks and the plant is about 15 inches tall. I've just been tying down all of the side branches as they come up because I don't want anything in the shadow. I've read that this is called Lst (Low Stress Training) and that it works pretty well for maintaining the height of your plant and it's worked pretty well for me so far. Any advice on things I could be doing differently? I'm on a 24 hour light schedule right now and I know I'm going to have to switch at some point to put the plant in flower. I water about every 3 days if the temp stays around 75. Uhhm I have only defoliated once since getting the plant any ideas on how to go about pruning? I have so many questions you guys it's crazy and I would love to hear from all of you. About anything and everything!
this last one is a picture of some items I recently bought that are for possibly another tent?! Yeah. I've read about a perpetual harvest and am thinking about dabbling around maybe. I need as much information as you guys can give me about this subject as I have only lightly read up online about all of this. I have ALOT more research to do and I'm sure you guys will be hearing about it in my future posts. That's about it for this one. I just really wanted to give you guys an idea of where I'm at with everything and also a preview of what's to come. All comments will be answered as soon as possible so don't be afraid to let me know what's on the tip of your tongue! I will post again as soon as I have made some progress(and taken more pictures). Thanks again!
